More on heaven
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus ChristJesus Christ For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.
Jesus ChristJesus Christ Speak but little, and that little only when thy own purposes require it. Heaven has given thee two ears but only one tongue, which means: listen to two things, but be not the first to propose one.
HafezHafez I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus ChristJesus Christ It is written on the gate of heaven: Nothing in existence is more powerful than destiny. And destiny brought you here, to this page, which is part of your ticket-as all things are-to return to God.
HafezHafez Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Jesus ChristJesus Christ The return from your work must be the satisfaction which that work brings you and the world’s need of that work. With this, life is heaven, or as near heaven as you can get. Without this – with work which you despise, which bores you, and which the world does not need – this life is hell.
W. E. B. Du BoisW. E. B. Du Bois If the earth is fit for laughter then surely heaven is filled with it. Heaven is the birthplace of laughter.
